Just an external gill plate tear, she was fine.

Fishing is funny. This was likely only a mid 20# fish, but there was something special about her.....probably the unexpected nature of her showing up so early, after an unproductive winter, in a spot I've fished my entire life, while focused on little stuff, and on tackle that let her show her best....... that has me smiling and shaking and feeling like a kid again. Not much in life that does that. Go get 'em.
